THE VULGAR TONGUE.

ASSISTED BY HELL−FIRE DICK, AND JAMES GORDON, ESQRS. OF CAMBRIDGE; AND WILLIAM SOAMES, ESQ. OF THE HON. SOCIETY OF NEWMAN'S HOTEL. PREFACE. The merit of Captain Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue has been long and universally acknowledged. But its circulation was confined almost exclusively to the lower orders of society: he was not aware, at the time of its compilation, that our young men of fashion would at no very distant period be as distinguished for the vulgarity of their jargon as the inhabitants of Newgate; and he therefore conceived it superfluous to incorporate with his work the few examples of fashionable slang that might occur to his observation. But our Jehus of rank have a phraseology not less peculiar to themselves, than the disciples of Barrington: for the uninitiated to understand their modes of expression, is as impossible as for a Buxton to construe the Greek Testament. To sport an Upper Benjamin, and to swear with a good grace, are qualifications easily attainable by their cockney imitators; but without the aid of our additional definitions, neither the cits of Fish−street, nor the boors of Brentford would be able to attain the language of whippism. We trust, therefore, that the whole tribe of second− rate Bang Ups, will feel grateful for our endeavour to render this part of the work as complete as possible. By an occasional reference to our pages, they may be initiated into all the peculiarities of language by which the man of spirit is distinguished from the man of worth. They may now talk bawdy before their papas, without the fear of detection, and abuse their less spirited companions, who prefer a good dinner at home to a glorious UP−SHOT in the highway, without the hazard of a cudgelling. But we claim not merely the praise of gratifying curiosity, or affording assistance to the ambitious; we are very sure that the moral influence of the Lexicon Balatronicum will be more certain and extensive than that of any methodist sermon that has ever been delivered within the bills of mortality. We need not descant on the dangerous impressions that are made on the female mind, by the remarks that fall incidentally from the lips of the brothers or servants of a family; and we have before observed, that improper topics can with our assistance be discussed, even before the ladies, without raising a blush on the cheek of modesty. It is impossible that a female should understand the meaning of TWIDDLE DIDDLES, or rise from table at the mention of BUCKINGER'S BOOT. Besides, Pope assures us, that "VICE TO BE HATED NEEDS BUT TO BE SEEN;" in this volume it cannot be denied, that she is seen very plainly; and a love of virtue is, therefore, the necessary result of perusing it. The propriety of introducing the UNIVERSITY SLANG will be readily admitted; it is not less curious than that of the College in the Old Bailey, and is less generally understood. When the number and accuracy of our additions are compared with the price of the volume, we have no doubt that its editors will meet with the encouragement that is due to learning, modesty, and virtue.

" Fixlay's Joubnal," a JIs. of 84 pp., written in a small, exceedingly neat, and per- fectly legible hand, bound in official vellum, and illustrated with two pen-and-ink maps, and a small vignette drawing, came into my possession in this wise. One John Hawkins, an Englishman, and a professor of the Swedenborgian faith, was sent out to this country about the year 1854, by that sect, as is supposed with a design to propagate the belief in the United States. He does not seem to have met with distinguished success, either in religious or secular matters, for while there is no record of his having made converts on the one part, it is cer- tain that having entered into business, he failed dismally on the other, and his belongings were sold at auction. Among various documents, correspondence and other writings that fell into the posses- sion of the auctioneer, was this manuscript, which was brought to me early in October last by his son, and from whom I at once purchased it, perceiving, as I thought, that it must possess some intrinsic value.

  • Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals By
    Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals By Emily Catherine Simmons A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright Emily Catherine Simmons 2011 Abstract Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals Emily Catherine Simmons Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto Copyright 2011 This dissertation examines the modes, means, and merit of the literary production of short stories in the London periodical market between 1850 and 1870. Shorter forms were often derided by contemporary critics, dismissed on the assumption that quantity equals quality, yet popular, successful, and respectable novelists, namely Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant, were writing, printing, and distributing them. This study navigates a nexus of discourses about culture, literature, and writing to explore, delineate, and ascertain the implications of the contextual position of certain short stories. In particular, it identifies and characterizes a previously unexamined genre, here called the Market Story, in order to argue for the contingency and de-centring of processes and pronouncements of valuation. Market stories are defined by their relationship to a publishing industry that was actively creating a space for, demanding, and disseminating texts based on their potential to generate sales figures, draw attention to a particular organ,
